It’s interesting to see what Jesus thinks of the dead. Only those who are concerned about their dead relatives are themselves dead.

The Prophet also said: This doctrine was the burden of the scriptures. Those saints who neglect it in behalf of their deceased relatives, do it at the peril of their own salvation.” Elder Theodore M. Burton, August 8, 1966, BYU Speeches of the Year, 1966.
